That sentence seems far too mild as the actual act of getting her home involved twelve hours of hard hard work. We moved her from a dorm to an on campus apartment yesterday. We had Shelley Puppy with us to add to the fun. Then drove back in the rain. I felt as if I had been thrown down the stairs today. I need to shut up and quit my fussing because she will not be in the country this time next year. She will be a student in Korea and will miss Thanksgiving and Christmas with us. We are still in our pajamas and may not move further than the coffee pot today.

Dear Olive - I don't think that our kids have a clue what we do and how much we put ourselves out for them. CC will in turn do the same for her own. That is the way of the world and how the cookie crumbles.Love your honesty, and you do make me laugh. I have been out to a lecture today, bought some more Christmas food, and I am now in my dressing gown with a large mug of coffee. It so much more cosy and relaxing don't you think?

Oh, you're so wonderful! I know moving is hard and is tiring and hurts! :)Now your vignette is beauty just like everything you do! I like your idea of the painted beadboard. I have some beadboard wallpaper! :) Be a sweetie,Shelia ;)

I'm so happy to hear that your daughter is home safe and sound Olive. I know you will enjoy having her about for the holiday!I love the beautiful Christmas decorating you have been sharing in your last few posts! This vignette is so beautiful and I am crushin' on your frame and chippy wood piece : )sending hugs...

Oh, I like that idea of not moving further than the coffee pot! Love your neutral vignette. Glad to hear CC is home. My niece moved to New Zealand about 4 years ago and only comes back to the States every other Christmas. It's been hard for my sister. My niece doesn't ever expect to move back here. :(

Love how pretty that looks! Those neutral colored bottle brush wreaths are so cute. That was a good find. Glad to hear that your daughter is home and y'all are catching up. I know you will treasure this Christmas with her!

About Me

Vintage decor and thrifting is my passion. Tablescapes {while rare here} are fun with vintage china. Gardening brings me peace. There will be flowers( you have been warned). I hope to offer you inspiration and maybe some garden tips along the way. {photos/writing property of Olive Out}

Even in this present life, there is danger in the very concept of religion. It carries the suggestion that this is one more department of life, an extra department added to the economic, the social, the intellectual, the recreational, and all the rest. ~~ C. S. Lewis
